Veterinary drug residue testing

Veterinary drugs are used for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in animals, as well as for weight gain and tranquilisation during transportation. They are commonly used in many animals.

Veterinary drugs are a complex group of several hundred pharmaceutical active substances. These are from different therapeutic areas and chemical classes, for example non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), beta-agonists, hormones, antiparasitics and antibiotics. Their retention time in animals and the legally allowed maximum residue levels is very complex but critical for the marketability of a product.

To protect your business and minimise the risk of negative health impacts, you need to comply with the relevant guidelines and standards for maximum residue levels of harmful veterinary drugs in the food chain. Lowering veterinary drug exposure is vital for you to comply with local and international standards, and that’s where our veterinary drug testing solutions can help.
